Hesabu 30
1 Musa aliwambia viongizi wote wa makabila ya watu wa Israeli. “Hiki ndicho ambacho BWANA ameamuru.
And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the Lord has commanded.
2 Mtu yeyote atakayefanya nadhiri kwa BWANA, au kuapa kwa kiapo ili kufunga nafsi yake kwa ahadi, asivunje neno lake. Atafanya sawa na ahadi yake imtokayo kinywani mwake.
Whatsoever man shall vow a vow to the Lord, or swear an oath, or bind himself with an obligation upon his soul, he shall not break his word; all that shall come out of his mouth he shall do.
3 Na kama binti anaishi katika nyumba ya baba yake kwa atafanya nadhiri kwa BWANA na kuifunga nafsi yake kwa kiapo,
And if a woman shall vow a vow to the Lord, or bind herself with an obligation in her youth in her father's house; and her father should hear her vows and her obligations, wherewith she has bound her soul, and her father should hold his peace at her, then all her vows shall stand,
4 na kama baba yake atasikia hiyo nadhirina ahadi ambayo ametumia kuifunga nafsi yake, naye asiseme kitu kumzuia, ndipo nadhiri zake zitakuwa na nguvu. Kila ahadi ambayo ameitumia kuifunga nafsi yake itabaki kuwa na nguvu.
and all the obligations with which she has bound her soul, shall remain to her.
5 Lakini kama baba yake atasikia nadhairi yake na ahadi zake, na kama hatasema chochote kwake, ndipo nadhiri zake zote na ahadi alizofanya zitakapokuwa na nguvu.
But if her father straitly forbid [her] in the day in which he shall hear all her vows and her obligations, which she has contracted upon her soul, they shall not stand; and the Lord shall hold her guiltless, because her father forbade her.
6 Hata hivyo, kama baba yake atasikia nadhri zake zote alizofanya na ahadi zake makini ambazo ametumia kufunga nafsi yake, na kama atazitengua ndani ya siku hiyo, ndipo hizo nadhiri hazitakuwa na nguvu. BWANA atamsamehe kwa kuwa baba yake amemzuia.
But if she should be indeed married, and her vows be upon her according to the utterance of her lips, [the obligations] which she has contracted upon her soul;
7 Kama ataolewa angali katika hivyo viapo, au kama atafanya ahadi za bila kufikiri ambazo atajifunga nazo, hivyo vifungo vitakuwa na nguvu.
and her husband should hear, and hold his peace at her in the day in which he should hear, then thus shall all her vows be binding, and her obligations, which she has contracted upon her soul shall stand.
8 Lakini kama mume wake atamzuia siku hiyo hiyo ambayo atamskia akiapa, basi atabatailisha hicho kiapo alichokifanya, maneno yake ya midomo yaka ya bila kufikiri ambayo kwayo amefunga nafsi yake. BWANA atamfungua.
But if her husband should straitly forbid [her] in the day in which he should hear her, none of her vows or obligations which she has contracted upon her soul shall stand, because her husband has disallowed her, and the Lord shall hold her guiltless.
9 Lakini kwa mjane au kwa mwanamke aliyetalikiwa, kila kitu amabacho atakisema kufunga nafsi yake lazima kitabaki na nguvu kinyume na yeye.
And the vow of a widow and of her that is put away, whatever she shall bind upon her soul, shall stand to her.
10 Na kama mwanamke atafanya kiapo katika nyumba ya mume wake au akijifunga mwenyewe kwa kufanaya kiapo,
And if her vow [be made] in the house of her husband, or the obligation upon her soul with an oath,
11 na mume wake akakisikia hicho kiapo na hakusema chochote kwake na hakumpinga, basi viapo vyake vitasimama na vifungo alivyovifanaya vitabaki na nguvu.
and her husband should hear, and hold his peace at her, and not disallow her, then all her vows shall stand, and all the obligations which she contracted against her soul, shall stand against her.
12 Lakini kama mume wake atamzuilia katika siku hiyo ambayo atavisikia, basi chochote ambacho kitatoka katika kinywa chake kuhusu viapo vyake au ahadi zake havitabaki kuwa na nguvu. Mume wake atkuwa amevibatilisha. BWANA atamfungua.
But if her husband should utterly cancel the vow in the day in which he shall hear it, none of the things which shall proceed out of her lips in her vows, and in the obligations [contracted] upon her soul, shall stand to her; her husband has cancelled them, and the Lord shall hold her guiltless.
13 Kila kiapo ambacho mwanamke anakifanya ambacho kinamfunga ili kujikana kianaweza kuthibitika au kubatilishwa na mume wake.
Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict her soul, her husband shall confirm it to her, or her husband shall cancel it.
14 Lakini kama hatasema chochote kwake siku baada ya siku, basi atathibitisha nadhiri zake na ahadi zake zinazomfunga ambazo amefanya. Atakuwa amezithibitisha kwa sababu hakusema chochote wakati alipozisikia.
But if he be wholly silent at her from day to day, then shall he bind upon her all her vows; and he shall confirm to her the obligations [which she has bound] upon herself, because he held his peace at her in the day in which he heard her.
15 Na kama mume wake atajariibu kubatilisha kiapo cha mke wake baada ya kuzisikia kwa muda mrefu, basi ataajibika kwa dhambi zake.”
And if her husband should in any wise cancel [them] after the day in which he heard [them], then he shall bear his iniquity.
16 Hizi ndizo amri ambazo Mungu alimwamuru Musa kuzitangaza - amri ambazo ziko kati ya mume na mke wake na kati ya baba na binti yake wakati akiwa katika ujana wake katika familia ya baba yake.
These [are] the ordinances which the Lord commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between a father and daughter in [her] youth in the house of [her] father.
